@mint Gentoo is a very meditative distro, always something to do. Something to distract from real life. Like a bonsai tree
-
Nevermind, sed is separate package. Was under the impression it's a part of coreutils.
-
Nope, cp/mv are broken as well.
-
Also tar. Replaced those four with busybox, upgrading glibc right now to the version that acl needs. Then will have to reinstall coreutils and finally update the rest of the system.
-
@pernia I'd like to get those 2-3% of performance from compiling with all the flags my CPU supports.
-
@mint use binary packages
-
@mint also how does gentoo building work? doesn't it build everything in a chroot or build dir and install the built packages?
-
@pernia Haven't looked into that, actually. It builds them somewhere in /var, but as for installing it probably uses `make install` or whatever in fakeroot like most other distros do.

@mint genstooges lost

@threat @pernia @mint With slackware we never fail :phear_slackware:
-
@mint @pernia for a moment i was sensing alpine. was hoping for alpine. make it alpine. for then we can climb mountains
-
Updated, rebooted, and now it suddenly changed network interface name from eth0 to enp2s0.
-
Also have to reemerge older postgres version as they STILL haven't figured out a way of migrating clusters without having to resort to having both the old and new version installed. Either way, the trick of replacing broken coreutils binaries with busybox worked just fine.

@mint Like I understand why, but it baffles me this has not been like number one priority to solve. Bundle compatibility libs for older releases if you have to, I don't care. Just make it work.
